thanks. what i was looking for was, maybe, something like we used to have in the describe word processor. it would allow you to pick any of several varieties of files -- .pdf was not, to my recollection, among them -- and use them as "stationery." this meant that in place of the white background there would be, both onscreen and in the printout, the document as a background. the background document wasn't altered or screened in any way; black would still be black. then one entered text as if the "stationery" were not there at all. with such an arrangement, one could move the cursor to the appropriate places, enter text, and then, when printing, get both the entered text and the background -- in my hypothetical, the .pdf file. from that standpoint, doing .pdf forms would be fairly straightforward. but, alas, i have found no way to make it happen. which doesn't at the moment matter -- i filled out the forms on a typewriter, not being able to find any ink here late at night for my fountain pen. -- dep Writing takes no time. It's finding something to say that takes forever. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
